Remembering the Colts 'Monster Trade' for RB Trent Richardson

Indianapolis Colts fans might not want to do this, but let’s take a trip down memory lane to exactly five years ago, when the team traded for running back Trent Richardson.

Following the season-ending injury to Vick Ballard in 2013, owner Jim Irsay and then-general manager Ryan Grigson thought it best to send their 2014 first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Richardson.

The trade itself was certainly a big deal, but what was bigger was the hype train Irsay was driving before the deal was announced.

Using the Twitter machine to its full potential, Irsay even used all caps to express his excitement about the trade.

Getting through the syntax can be difficult, but no one was more hyped about this trade than Irsay.

He also sent this tweet out, though it might not be clear whether Irsay was using a metaphor or whether there was actually a minor earthquake in Indianapolis coincidentally at the same time as the trade.

OMG…the Earth is SHAKING!!!!! Shock and AWE is coming VERY SOON!!!!!!!
